It's not just the big numbers that you lift but the huge volume that you knock out each session. Honestly, your first exercise on your chest and shoulder days plus a few accessories would be enough for most people but you basically go through a full hypertrophy type workout at double the weight. How long do you take recovering between sets?

Very little time at all. I take a swig of water/catch my breath--and then right to the next set. But there IS actually a very good explanation for that since you ask, broseph.Originally Posted by fittofattofit
......at one point in time my wife and I had 3 kids in 3 and a half years together. A 3 year old, a 2 year old, and and infant at one point. On top of that, we were both basically single parents--since I worked in the day and she worked in the evening/night. But I still was NOT willing to let that STOP me from lifting. So my workouts consisted of the following:
-do a set--run up and change a kid's diaper.
-do a set--run up and give a kid a bottle.
-do a set--run up and stop a kid from crying.
etc. etc. etc.
You get the idea. So "resting" between sets was just simply not in the works for me. I had to knock out my sets as fast as humanely possible due to time constraints cuz of my children. Now (since my kids are old/all in school) I could rest longer between sets, but what's the point?
I've already been programmed/brain-washed, brah...

Ha .. that's a great reason! That consistency in hitting the volume is important .. I got used to taking 2 minute breaks between sets for decades (Originally Posted by ajdahlheimer

He was gassed by the pullups. He couldn't do a single full ROM hammer grip pullup. I ripped off 3 sets of 10 and probably could have gone 15 (had adrenaline since I normally don't have an audience).Originally Posted by fittofattofit
